Guys who are still imagining HK will go to 'live with virus' like everywhere else can give up.
The Oriental Daily has said it in its paper today, the COVID 0 strategy came straight from the very top, President Xi. Anyone who criticises or suggest opening the border with any countries other than the motherland is creating havoc for the motherland and its leadership (hint hint, National Security Law). In that article, Professor Yuen who lobbied so hard for people to get vaccinated in order to open borders with other countries was criticised as having 'evil motivation' against the motherland.
In the same article, CX was heavily criticised for receiving special treatment from the HK Gov as CX crew continuously brought in the virus. The Oriental Daily have a grudge against CX, so most of its words against CX are probably exaggerated. But its stance on licking the motherland has been faithful and strong, which means the 'special treatment' is probably not gonna last much longer....
